Quick summary

Total: 5,902 cars

The 2017 Toyota Hilux has a defect rate of 122 per 100 vehicles, which is 9% lower than the average for its year at 134 defects per 100 vehicles. It performs particularly well in the categories of steering and wheels, suspensions, and axles, showing significantly fewer issues compared to the average. However, it faces higher challenges in lights and electrics, body and structure, and equipment defects, where it exceeds the average rates. Notably, the defect rate tends to increase with mileage, particularly beyond 124,000 miles, indicating that older models may require more attention. Overall, while the Hilux is strong in some areas, specific categories warrant closer examination for potential improvements.
